MY JOURNEY IN SUPER SINGER 3

A BIG THANKS FOR THE OVERWHELMING SUPPORT & LOVE:

First of all, a big thanks to each and everybody for the overwhelming support and love u have been giving me! U guys made it all happen! :) Made my dreamz come true! :) I dedicate everything to all the ppl who voted for me.. Am sure i will keep entertaining all u guys until my last breath! :) I frankly never expected that I would b the 1st runner up.. As a singer I know I have a long way to go, all I can say is this love and support is actually making me feel more responsible and I will def work much much harder for betterment! Becoming a better singer has always been my motive & I will keep working for it.. :)

“SPL THANKS” to my co-contestants who have been my pillar of support when I was low in confidence and they have all been there for me whenever I needed them.. :) Found some gr8 friends like Deepak, soundarya, jithin, shakthi & srini.. I wish them to be with me all thru my life.. :)

SAI SHARAN – THE WINNER:

And “THE WINNER IS – SAI SHARAN”, truly deserving.. :) Sai Sharan is an example of sheer passion and hardwork.. Thats something I learnt from him, he never gave up until his last performance, his “Mazhai Thuli” was just out of the world, am glad that he won.. :)

SATHYAPRAKASH:

Felt really really sad for pooja & sathyaprakash.. :( One thing I m very confident about is “TRUE TALENTS R ALWAYS NOTICED” & m sure the right opportunity will knock their doors pretty soon! :) Already actor dhanush has announced saying “He was impressed with Sathyaprakash’s singing and he is gonna make him sing in his next movie”. :) So happy for both my buddies sathya and sai! :)

POOJA:

“POOJA” has been a v good friend of mine, her voice is something everybody loves.. :) She is a natural singer with a gifted voice and above all her feel is amazing! :) VERY straightforward and a lovely person to be with, m sure she is gonna get loads of work and in another 2 years she will be one of the leading female singers of southindia! :) :) Wishing her all the best and a very successful musical carrier ahead! :)

THE JOURNEY:

The journey this time has been the best and biggest for me! I totally had no clue how it is gonna be when I planned to be back in SUPER SINGER 3.. All I dreamt about was to be one among the “FINALISTS” and become a better singer/performer! I looked at this show as a platform to showcase my talent, experiment and above all learn new stuff! The competition wasn’t a cake walk this time, the competition was at its peak and I baffled after a point.. Like everybody else I had ups and downs in the show but the most memorable day of my life was when srini sir heard me sing again after 1 n half years nd gave me a comment saying “Enna Santosh Bayanagara PROFESSIONAL-a paadareenga, am so happy to see u sing like this”.. :) That comment will always be memorable and will always be cherished, that comment meant a lot to me as I was waiting to get such a compliment from him! :) All Thanks to “Srini Sir” for being so inspiring and motivating, if he hadn’t motivated me in the last season I wouldn’t have become what I m now.. :)

“WILDCARD” was a milestone, I think I gave my best in the wildcard… All the 8 of us sang our heart out and it was such a tight competition, I never expected such support from the ppl, but the love and support u guys gave me boost my confidence so much and i was extremely happy to know that I got the second highest votes.. Thank u all!! :)

“GRAND FINALE” was an experience, I tried my best to give my 100% but could give only 75% of what I am capable of due to various reasons like no sleep, no rest! I am not giving it as an excuse both my songs were v high pitched and it was a must for me to get proper rest which I couldn’t get, I don blame anybody but my misfortune! :(

THE CRITICS:

“THE CRITICS” have played a vital role in the growth of each one of us.. CRITICISM when it is constructive can be taken there have been many ppl who wrote to us for our improvement and I genuinely from the bottom of my heart thank them all.. But there have been times when critics used to write filthy, cheap stuffs about everybody. Critics can write stuff on the internet sitting at home but we know the path we travelled, the sacrifices each one of us made. I m sure it will pay off well! :)

THANKS:

All said and done the show is over, I will terribly be missing performing for all u guys, especially the judges and the set! THANKS TO ALL THE OTHER JUDGES & THE GUESTS WHO CAME AND MOTIVATED ALL OF US!!! Spl thanks to the cast and crew of the show, they r the hero’s and heroines of the show, they r the ones made us what we r today.. :)

A BIG BIG THANKS to FACEBOOK & TWITTER, both FB & twitter has played a vital role in this journey of Super Singer, got excellent feedback, compliments, suggestions & yeah not to forget criticisms, jokes apart, both fb & twitter has helped me to stay in touch with my well wishers worldwide & I hope to b in touch will all u guys in the future as well, will keep u guys updated with whatever that's happening around me.. :) THANKS to all my well wishers, friends and not to forget my family, they hav been the pillar of support, I dedicate it all to u guys.. I promise to work hard and will keep striving for excellence!! Thanks everybody!!! :)

Fantastic singing, Santosh. Great work and congrats. When I am next in Madras, I must meet you all whom I truly love. Sai was also awesome and may God's blessings be showered on all of you. I live in Abu Dhabi. Mohan

Hey santhosh...Though i was ur big fan I'm Sathya's fan nw... he was the truly deserving winner.. It was totally unfair on him....His performance ( omana penne) was the best.. u'v got to agree... Dats wt i feel.. i dnt agree wth ur statement dat sai was da desrving one.. he needs to deal with his attitude first... it sucks.. Maybe better things await Sathya... and title winners never turn out to be the best.. So hopefully da truly deserving and talented Sathya would get something better......

Congrats santhosh. U r very sportive , encouraging co - contestants and tht might attracted many ppl. And u hav a very good clear voice and no surprise u are the king of melodies...... Keep going, we r thr to support u always and see u as a playback singer very soon. Best wishes .........

Santosh - Awesome performance and attitude man.Congrats to you & Sai. Great performances. I really loved your - yaar sirithaal yenna. Feel sorry for Satya but maybe his song selection in Finale went against him. Would love to meet Sai, Srini, Kaushik and you on my next visit to Chennai. My e mail id is j.mohan@fh.ae. Let me know your e mail id and of the others also if possible. Best Regards & God bless u. Mohan

Santosh you're most welcome!!!! Your parents have brought both you boys up well. We are your number one fans and that's simply because of your amazing personality. Neenga romba nalla varuvapa.....gods blessings, your family's support and all the love we have for you will always keep you on top.....god bless you bro Xxx best wishes, Angela and Chris

First of all congratulations for winning 2nd Prize in Airtel Super Singer... We would never ever forget you in this liefe.. We are so much bounded by your voice.. Myself and My Family have been praying for you all through the season and would continue to do so in future as well.. All the very best for your Future.. I wish to see your again in TV singing various songs :)... We miss u a lot.. Wish to meet u soon..

The result was just biased. True to everyones knowledge, Sathya was THE BEST. Vijay Tv fooled people. Every forum says the same and how come public would have chosen Sathya. You santhosh deserve your place man, congrats but Sai doen't deserve even 4th place.

Hi Santosh, congrats for winning runner-up:) finally after a lot of hard work u did it. u really deserve to be what u r now.. i love ur singing, voice and attitude soo much... wish u all the best for ur future from the bottom of my heart:):)

Good luck santosh. I am truly impressed with your attitude,friendliness,good singing and many more things to say.Even while you were receiving the first runner up, your reaction ,acceptance were too cool and sincere.

Continue enjoying music for yourself first that has taken you to what you are today.

Santhosh you were a truly awesome contestant! I started off as a Pooja fan but after Wildcard, you won me over and I converted to Team Santhosh! My family and I are big supporters, we love your talent and sprite! Congratz on your 2nd place victory! We know that you will go far and become a huge singer & performer. We hope you and the other contestants will come to Canada for a stage show! We would love to see you here.

You are a Magnanimous man. As you said plenty of your ATSS3 friends have different skills. SAKTHI, SRINI, JOHN, JITIN, MALAVIKKA, DHANYASHREE, HARIHARASUDHAN, KARTHI (Got eliminated in early stage) but has good stuff. It was competition, even small minor mistakes eliminated them. But the courage and fire you and Sai had something amazing. He got eliminated at in Junior level. You missed it in ATSS2 series. Am showing both of your achievements as inspirations to both of my children

Hi santosh!! congrats deeply from the bottom of my heart for ur success!! love ur voice really!! the day aftr results saw many negative comments by many ppl for u nd sai!! just dont take those words!! u ppl deserve it!! and one thing just wanna share wid u!! the song EN KADHALE which am hearing nw always after u sung dat!! also nainon ki mat and aarariraro with ur mom made my tears roll on my cheeks after so many days!! ALL THE BEST FOR UR BRIGHT FUTURE!!!! MAY ALL UR GUD DREAMS COME TRUE!!

Congrats alotsanthosh from em and my mom... we are very haapy that you gto 2nd prize. but we wish that you could have got 1st prize.. your character is really awesome.. will surely be a role model for many in future.. may god be with you and ur family..

Hey Santosh, CONGRATULATIONS at the outset, the best men prevailed, it's u, Sai, Satya and Pooja. I've been watching u since the last Super Singer and wanna share my views on what I observed in u. Firstly, man ... what an exponential improvement u've shown between these two seasons. Honestly speaking, in the first season, except for few rounds, I was not much into listening to u, u were more playful than being into music (sorry I said I am gonna share my views), however, some of the voices including ur's and the singing style has so much registered in my mind. During this season audition, when I saw u again, I was like, 'hmmm let's see how he's gonna sing now' and as soon as I started listening to ur 'Thaen sindhudhey vaanam', I was kinda like shell shocked to realize that it's really u who's singing to this level. It made me feel like this time u've come with a mission unlike last time (though I knew ur passion was music, music and all music). Your voice, the range, the modulation, u got all now, I luv that.

Second, whoever befriended u are the most luckiest people ever. Coz, I've never seen anybody who is possess such an attittude, a cool headed, super duper friendly and loves music regardless if it comes from u or ur other contentants. I would luv to have u as my friend honestly, I know u would say yes, can't wait for it :-) I see the same kinda attittude from Mr.Srinivas (Super Singer Judge). He luvs music no matter what form it is and what source it is from. Avar rasikkaradha rasikkaradhey ennoda vaela :-)

Me being musician myself, wanna only wish GOOD LUCK and keep singing, stay cool and all u deserve is LUV and ONLY LUV, nothing else.

True and nice post. Congrts for your 1st runner up. Hard work never fails. Your wild card and final performance is very nice to hear and you sing from bottom of your heart. You must give specail thanks to your brother too. theeyil-vizhunda-thena rocking songs. We are awaitng for your cine songs. First I likeed your attitude and then your singing(sorry). Sometime we need some negative comments so that only we will prove our talent and get success. We are always with you and keep rocking.

This is balaji.i dont have words to say,you are wornderful.There's a magic in your voice. The song you sung on finals was awesome.you stole everyone.i wish and pray god that your musical journey should reach heights.Our support will be with you for ever.

I have been an ardent fan of your voice and attitude ever since super singer began. Your ' En Kadhali' will forever remain etched in my mind- it was classic :). Your ability to just smile through even the toughest moments and be there for people reflected so well on the day. No wonder you were the most popular contestant among your competitors. Its been a pleasure watching you and I have no doubts you will be a superstar very very soon :) Cheers Preethi

this is a personal mess to u.. please don publish this.. :)i have already send you a mess in this blog n in FB reg my mom's affection on you & her bday on oct 5th...she often say that you are her son.. this is the first bday of her were in our family ..strength is reduced to 2, my mom n me.. i would like you joining her bday either by calling n wish her or in person.. her bday is on OCT 5th. since i dt get any rpl i wonder wheter you r getting my mess or not.thats y sending again..please contact me sujee.krishnan@gmail.com :)

Hey Santhosh...Great going. I love ur voice.I thought Sathya would win and u'd be runner up. But Sathya was third:( soooo unfair. Hope Sathya gets what he truly deserves soooooon.Keep singin Santhosh.. We luv listening 2 u.Ur version of santhana thenralai, en kadale and idhu enna maayam were simply awesome. Ur an awesome guy tooo. I realy admire da way u cheer when the others perform well without even a pang of jealousy. Great attitude.Keep on rocking and stay blessed:)Keep blogging. Do u have a facebook page and does Sathya have one?? If so plz share the link...:)

Many congratulations to you Santhosh.I have always loved your special voice and your awesome attitude towards life in general and towards ur co-contestants in specific.U showed the way to go man.I generally don't have the patience to watch a show like super singer but this time u made me watch it for the past 5 months : ).U rock and keep up the great work dude.

Hi Santosh,Congratulations on your second place - well deserved.And Congrats on landing your first film song!!This is a slightly long comment -hopefully you will have the patience to read it fully :-). I am from the previous generation and wanted to point out how Super Singer has impacted me. I grew up idolizing SPB like many in my generation did. My high school and college days were spent listening to the classics churned out by SPB and Ilayaraja. And then I left India for job abroad and didn't get much of a chance to listen to Tamil film songs regularly. I knew that Hariharan, your hero SM, and later Karthik and others had kind of taken over. In spite of being great singers in their own right, they didn't appeal to me much because I didn't have the 'emotional ties' with them if you know what I mean. Thanks to my in-laws visit we got Vijay TV and I started watching SS3. I started enjoying the songs you guys sang, so much so, I started downloading the actual film songs which I heard you folks sing and started listening to them and started liking them! So in a way you can be proud that you have been promoting film songs to perhaps folks like me. Now I am kind of emotionally attached to you guys and will definitely look forward to the film songs you guys sing and will listen to it! For me songs sung by you, Sai, Sathya, Pooja, Malavika, Kaushik et al will be more interesting to listen to, than Hariharan, SM, Karthik and others! Don't get me wrong - they are stalwarts but like I said I have bonded with you folks more than I did with them.I really enjoyed the episode where you and Ragini sang Kilimanjaro (after that I downloaded that song to my iPod and started liking it!) - lot of good-natured teasing when she was talking about your 'luck' with girl friends :-) That part was hilarious. And about you - I am by no means an expert but the feel in your songs are fantastic. I know you made everyone cry with your song dedicated to your mother.And as one of the judges said in the last show (shows after grand finale) please always be the person you are now in terms of feeling happy for others, humility, enjoyment of life with friends etc. God will bless you with tremendous success. Looking forward to listening to the film songs sung by you and your SS buddies! God bless you all!!

Congrats Santosh! Love your singing. Can you please upload Neina thag lenge song from omkara in your voice. I liked it a lot when you sang it on stage twice and I really love both your version and original version by Fateh Ali saheb.

@ALL: Thanks a "MILLION" for all the support u guys have been giving me.. :) NO TITLE can match this love and support and m v happy m being supported overwhelmingly.. :) I would def work hard and keep growing as a singer, i wil not disappoint u, hope to sing playback soon, with all ur blessings and prayers m sure i will soon become a playback singer! :)

@Venki1960: Thanks a lot, watever u expressed means a lot to upcoming/aspiring singers like us, we r glad tat vijay tv had given us a platform to perform and now we r being treated like sons & daughters of everybody..
